Default I got to drive a C7!!

I was LUCKY enough to be chosen to drive a C7! I was offered this amazing opportunity because I work on the forums with y'all.

I had the most wonderful trip in the Torch Red 7 speed. I drove for about 6 hours on the highway. I kept it within appropriate speeds, so I did not get pulled over on company time. After all this was over I didn't want to lose my job.

The electronics is like nothing I have ever experienced! The infotainment system and information from the vehicle is at your finger tips. The car handled like it was hugging the road.

I am 5'9 with a long torso and I had plenty of room above my head, for you taller folks out there. There is also a lot of seat room to be comfortable.

I am so excited for y'all to get your C7's! This experience really ramped me up even more! I am so happy we are shipping and you will have them soon. Now for me to get on the C7 bandwagon and get one, so I can continue to enjoy all that horse power!

Wow, getting paid to test drive a new Stingray, what a fantastic way to spend the day!
Now you fully understand why we are so anxious to get our very own to drive!

I had the best day EVER! 450hp you have one heck of a great C7 coming your way!

I look forward to seeing all of your pictures and hearing about all of your experiences. The looks you will get from people at the gas station, rest stop or grocery store are the best. I only got a few but I cannot imagine if I drove that beast every day.

I was so lucky to get that opportunity!

Thanks Kelly and your pictures were just great to see and having ordered that exact car made it even more exciting . I am currently dealing with a customer service rep and i have his extension phone #. He is really helpfull and returns calls really fast. You people are doing a great job taken care of a lot of car freaks .


It's nice to put a face with the reps we deal with especially with a great smile. It shows you really dig your career with GM. Maybe I will switch reps .
